What To Do When Water Damage Happens?
Water damage can be overwhelming, particularly because it often occurs unexpectedly and requires immediate action. To mitigate further damage and ensure safety, follow these critical steps during a water damage event:
- Locate The Source & Turn Off Your Water: If flooding is active, turn off your main water line as soon as possible to stop additional water from entering your home. Ensure it is safe to access your main water line before proceeding.
- Turn Off Your Power: Water and electricity are a hazardous combination. Turning off power is advisable, especially if water has begun to accumulate in areas with electrical components. True North Restoration recommends taking this precaution to prevent any electrical hazards.
- Call A Reputable Water Damage Company: Contact a professional water damage restoration service like True North Restoration immediately. Our experts will act quickly to identify the source of the problem, stop the water intrusion, extract standing water, and commence the drying and restoration process to prevent further damage or mold growth. We will also work with your insurance provider to ensure proper documentation and communication throughout the claims process.
- Remove Any Valuables (If Possible): If it is safe and practical, remove essential valuables from the affected area. However, avoid entering areas with potential electrical hazards or contaminated water, such as sewage backups. Your safety is the priority.
Does Homeowner's Insurance Cover Water Damage?
- Sudden & Accidental Events: Examples include pipe bursts or appliance failures.
- Storm Damage: Damage from severe weather events like wind, hail, or frozen plumbing is usually covered.
- Intentional Vandalism: Acts such as intentional flooding by a third party are typically covered.

What Are The Different Types of Water Damage?
Understanding the types of water damage is crucial for determining the appropriate restoration approach. According to the IICRC, water damage is classified into three categories based on contamination levels and associated risks:
- Category 1 - Clean or "Sanitary" Water Damage: This type originates from clean, potable water sources, such as broken water supply lines or overflowing sinks. It poses minimal health risks, but if left untreated, it can degrade into more hazardous forms.
- Category 2 - Grey Water: Grey water is moderately contaminated and can cause illness upon contact or ingestion. Common sources include appliance discharges, sump pump failures, or minor toilet overflows without sewage. Proper handling is essential to mitigate risks.
- Category 3 - Black Water: Black water contains harmful pathogens, toxins, and other contaminants, making it extremely dangerous. Sources include sewage backups, floodwaters, or stagnant water that has developed bacteria and mold. Specialized expertise and equipment are required for safe remediation
